Lyrics LYRICS Said, I’m pulling down the shades for the long ride I never knew that I could feel so black and blue I’ve been holding onto something now for sometime All I know is it’s a feeling fit for two Cuz when the sunlight laid its head down on this dog night And I was talking to myself in the rear view Yeah I’ve got questions but I know everything is alright All I have to do is just remember you Cuz I’m never gonna lose you I’ve got you deep inside my chest And I can feel you beating like the soul of a drummer boy We’ve gotta keep going Keep going Don’t care what anybody say Let the law take us away We’ve gotta keep going Keep going Don’t care what anybody say Nah nah nah nah I’ve been fake and I’ve been free I’ve been you and I’ve been me But now I stand up tall for what I believe Against all odds I walked that trail of fear And tread on desperate leaves But no one’s leaving just yet We all want that make believe Tried and true tribulations Of who I’ve come to be The less I know the more I learn How much love means to me Every day I’m walking out the front door Leaning on your ghost The best feeling of the day

 is one that I lean toward most We’ve gotta keep going Keep going Don’t care what anybody say Let the law take us away We’ve gotta keep going Keep going Don’t care what anybody say Nah nah nah nah I’ve been fake and I’ve been free I’ve been you and I’ve been me But now I stand up tall for what I believe Against all odds I walked that trail of fear And tread on desperate leaves But no one’s leaving just yet We all want that make believe Tried and true tribulations Of who I’ve come to be The less I know the more I learn How much love means to me Every day I’m walking out the front door Leaning on your ghost The best feeling of the day is one that I lean toward most We’ve gotta keep going Keep going Don’t care what anybody say Let the law take us away We’ve gotta keep going Keep going Don’t care what anybody say Nah nah nah nah 2.

When I’m Able (Shaw/Gekas/Feinberg/Campanelli/Ingraham/Williams) When the night comes and I’m able I could see you across the table You’re a shooting star staring at me I’m paranoid now why are you laughing?

So I called you just to call you I’m on a roll now still looking for you Looking out that window pane I feel the soft rain I’m going down the drain It’s washing me away That’s why I called you just to call you It’s not like I left you at the altar Got to get this boulder off our shoulder And make this load here a little bit lighter If you got something left to say Would you could you see me In the daylight you’re a mystery I catch a cool glimpse and let it stone me When are we coming closer to what this could be Somehow I feel a little bit further Further from the truth it’s not typical I feel invisible some days I’m miserable So if you ever want to see me Just take a load off wild and free If you got something left to say Would you could you see me Because I see you when I am able Yes I see you When the truth came out it was you David Shaw: Vocals Andrew Campanelli: Drums Zack Feinberg: Guitar Ed Williams: Pedal Steel Guitar George Gekas: Bass Rob Ingraham: Saxophone Michael Girardot: Keys, Trumpet When it’s late at night and dark as hell Where I’m going to well you know damn

 do things right It’s been a long dark road and try as I might I can’t make it any closer to the golden light I’m close to the edge and holding on All I can do is set my soul on fire with the golden light David Shaw: Vocals Andrew Campanelli: Drums Zack Feinberg: Guitar Ed Williams: Pedal Steel Guitar George Gekas: Bass Rob Ingraham: Saxophone Michael Girardot: Keys, Trumpet You broke my heart to save our one true chance to grow old year-by-year Forever we’re dancing away a summer’s night without all the rain You can rely on me honey I’ll always remain You’re confident you know you’re my best friend You’re the thoughts in my mind that I can’t comprehend Like you and me living two worlds so departed Forever you’re the only one who’ll mend my heart Lie on the ceiling stare up at the floor Fall upstairs to answer quiet knocks on my back door There’s water in the streets and roots in the sky Wind blows away my mind I’m up all night The earth don’t spin unless I’m by your side One day together babe we’ll flip the world upright We’re gonna flip the world upright Don’t speed to find me babe but don’t

 you drive slow I’ll be here waiting in the place that you know Shoes hang in windows and no one knows my name Now that you’re gone I’m the only one to blame For a heart that hardened with each shortening breath The undeserved tears that your blue eyes wept That seeped into the cracks I carved in the ground and Slowly but surely tipped our world up side down Lie on the ceiling stare up at the floor Fall upstairs to answer quiet knocks on my back door There’s water in the streets and roots in the sky Wind blows away my mind I’m up all night The earth don’t spin unless I’m by your side One day together babe we’ll flip the world upright We’re gonna flip the world upright Don’t deny it, in your diary I saw you wrote how you still love me The imprint of the words that have all been erased Fifth line, third page You want to see me as I do you You wish it felt the way it used to And I can tell you it’s coming soon David Shaw: Vocals Andrew Campanelli: Drums Zack Feinberg: Guitar, Acoustic Guitar Percussion Ed Williams: Pedal Steel Guitar George Gekas: Bass Rob Ingraham: Saxophone Michael Girardot:

 Keys We broke out the hounds Track them down, track them down, track them down And lock them up pound for pound Eye for an eye I’ve come to know In the city the city of sound Timeless is how long you’ll sing When you’re not with the one in your dreams She sends her love for me to see A pretty photograph to my telephone screen Well I really don’t know what time will tell I never grew up I’ve never been in jail I’ve seen the inside of a cinder block cell With eyes rolled back in head oh well It’s been a long time coming I’m proud to say I know what it takes to greet a sunny day You keep on pushing those clouds away While your knocking on wood every goddamn day Timeless is how long you’ll sing When you’re not with the one in your dreams She sends her love for me to see A pretty photograph to my telephone screen I really don’t know what time will tell I never grew up I’ve never been in jail I’ve seen the inside of a cinder block cell With eyes rolled back in head oh well It’s been a long time coming, I’m proud to say I know what it takes to greet a sunny day You keep on pushing those clouds away While your knocking on

 the confidence surely grow With an army of days reflected through the haze Wisdom will accumulate.

I’m a criminal I do this everyday I take the low road I roam the highways Maybe we’ll meet again Maybe we’ll die today Maybe we’ll live forever never throw this love away Hello… am I coming in clear girl?

Take a look in the mirror I know you don’t like what you see Slip away slip away for a moment, not a day It’s all right child I’ll hide you in the safe and sound But I never like that side you know because You pick me up, you put me down Although you never made a sound I’m living natural feeling free So I drift away, thinking in blurred photographs All the way to the mansion of my mind You push buttons I pull weight Every single day You’re a fool to think I’d waste, and throw this all away Spending all this time Weighs heavy on my dime Everyday, I ain’t got a second to waste Well I know I’m no fun When I’m moping like the pope Humming Otis in the rain These arms of mine will hold up hope And I can’t tell if I’m owed, or do I owe So I’ll put that on the list of all the things I’ll never know You pick me up, you put me down And still we’re wrapped up in the love That’s always hung around Tell me is this all a dream Swimming the unconscious stream That flows into the mansion of my mind Let there be light Let there be longing for a better way of life It’s not neurotic it’s

 melodic when we’re struggling Hanging from the fallen string Unraveling the fabric of my time Well I know I’m no fun When I’m moping like the pope Humming Otis in the rain These arms of mine will hold up hope And I can’t tell if I’m owed, or do I owe So I’ll put that on the list of all the things I’ll never know Ben Ellman: iPad Funkbox Beat David Shaw: Vocals Andrew Campanelli: Drums Zack Feinberg: Guitar Cara Burns: additional hand claps Ed Williams: Pedal Steel Guitar George Gekas: Bass Rob Ingraham: Saxophone Michael Girardot: Keys, Trumpet with all the troops out on parade Up till now we’ve saved Every woulda, coulda, shoulda that could’ve ever been made Riding tall on a ten foot bicycle Feeling small when I passed by city hall I caught a glimpse of the night mayor dressed in black taking nips from a flask filed with cognac With the memory of R.C.N speckled in trash I made a mad-hatter dash for the Frenchman stash I hope a couple grams will last Because there’s four lungs puffin’ mama you can do the math It’s a mas

Politicians playing with all of our minds Wrecking all of our lives They’re like blind surgeons in the dark Their blue pens are scalpels in disguise It’s a masquerade Insecurity guard, there’s a force at the border That won’t be let on It’s a masquerade with all the troops out on parade Up till now we’ve saved Every woulda, coulda, shoulda That could’ve ever been made Look at us now Riding on the rooftops letting it out You could have the same We could be as one We could find a solution in the sun I don’t need to fall into all your lies It’s all I see for you and I I’m in a dream I’m holding on I’ll be here you’ll be gone Hurry, hurry, hurry I need you now In the dark we find the sound David Shaw: Vocals, Guitar Andrew Campanelli: Drums Zack Feinberg: Guitar Ed Williams: Pedal Steel Guitar George Gekas: Bass Rob Ingraham: Saxophone Michael Girardot: Keys, Trumpet 9.

Up In The Air (Shaw) Made sure to bring her mate’ Told her mom and dad that She never met nobody else Quite like lee He moved down from Oregon in the rain Established a connection with an underground king They’ll have it all, in the blink of an eye I’m the only one who knows how this happened all so fast We both grew up together I thought I knew this love would last Guess I was wrong, Heaven song, goodness gone In the blink of an eye She’s a very pretty girl With a magnolia smile In this white wedding world It only takes a little while To get what you want When no one’s looking in There’s a river running through The backwoods of her brain It brought a rapid fast delivery Of aqua colored pain, that no one could see Pity please, pretty please goes on in the night They’re trading places, they’re missing faces Their wanted poster’s on the wall They’re keeping pace with Two hopped up hippies in the Superdome Mama calling on the phone, when you coming home?

Who are you still inside of me? Who are you still in love with me? I told you so… All that she needs is a banker, a toy, a boy and a dress All that he needs is a lock on the door Some love in his heart to fill this hole in his chest You could be the love, I could be the fight We could say forever, staying up all night This is about as low as I could be tonight You could be the love, I could be the fight Who are you? Who are you still inside of me? Who are you still in love with me? My place is cold, I’ve been up all night I’m alone, but it’s alright Is it in the air?

I feel it in the air I’ve said it too many times The places I go could white out your eyes like the color of snow The rain or the sun could never prepare you For the seduction that comes with a fare Hot fire sex in the third degree Burning blunts, blowing lines, popping ecstasy I’m free from their world It had its hooks in me Still a fish out of water, but now I can breath All that she needs A banker, a toy, a boy and a dress It’s all that she needs David Shaw: Vocals, Guitar Andrew Campanelli: Drums Zack Feinberg: Guitar, Banjo Ed Williams: Pedal Steel Guitar George Gekas: Bass Rob Ingraham: Saxophone Michael Girardot: Keys, Trumpet All I can see are blurs of red and yellow through the raindrops on my windshield nothing is clear to me but it seems nobody’s moving is it an accident or just me nowhere to go I hope that you will follow me ‘cause it’s you that I’ve been missing I hope that you were listening when I said that you could be the only one and what did I say to make you doubt me and after that night when you began to come around what could I have done

 to make you stay not turn away the windshield wipers screech me back to consciousness it seems that it’s stopped raining the sky has cleared up the southern stars are shining the thought of you has got me blinded the radio plays a story of redemption drowns out the leaking tire’s hissing I hope that you were listening when I said that you could be the only one what did I say to make you doubt me and after that night when you began to come around what could I have done to make you stay not turn away I want to be the light the light in your eyes every smile and I want to be the one who loves you I got a feeling inside you know it makes me feel like dying ‘cause you know I’m always thinking of you I remember a time looking down that long road it was you and me and mystery we’d go for a ride drink a toast to happy endings but now the bottle’s dry and empty now that you’re gone never to return again everything we had was history hope that you are listening when I say I have found my only one and nothing I could say would make her doubt me and every night the sun descends into the ground and she’s the only one I want to stay and not turn away.

I saw my baby-o late last night camp said he took a shot of my tears oh no I couldn’t believe I had a shipwrecked life ‘cause I never left that pier and so now I’m getting high just like I’m dolomite maybe even Sally DeBeers we’re taking shots to the brain we fill ourselves with that love man it’s all enough for the fame but it’s never enough no it’s never enough she’s a cabbage patch baby born under the sun she came into this world at one hell of a time the middle east was under fire from the B.Y.O.B’s that’s the bullshit years of Bush for all you righty tighties she broke all the rules and never paid for one ‘til that fateful day when she brandished a gun stole herself a guitar and then a whole damn band pilfered a bottle of Jack cooked up in a frying pan but it’s never enough no it’s never enough ‘cause she’s the queen of my world and I swear so check your Vital Signs when your heart fails you well the band woke up in the morning realized what had been done they’d all been kidnapped now with nowhere to run Benny was a drummer she knew from way back when he played drums for her once and then he dove

 right in them pink silky panties with a couple of runs he left early in the morning swore he’d be back for more fun but the clock it never lie even to this voodoo child and the next time that she saw him she put that gun to his eye never enough no it’s never enough cause she’s the queen of my world and I swear so check your vital signs when your heart fails you we’re out of control I saw my baby out late last night Camp said he took a shot of my tears but it’s never enough no it’s never enough ‘cause she’s the queen of my world and I swear she’s bound to fall.
